I would think that the decorative value here is not insignificant. The size and shape of these would factor in as well.
Vater was a stylin' guy! Sad story about the son, though.
Glass rather than porcelain? It is an aesthetic or japonisme design which makes it c. 1880.

Whoa, that's a big 'un! You might find the mark under 20th c Chinese marks at gotheborg.com.

Ah, that would've caught my eye, too.
Ah, I have heard of Palatnik acrylic figures, but never seen any in my neck of the woods. However, if I come across a "plastic" figure like those,...

Heard back from my nephew and apparently I had the orientation wrong and you had it right, LOL! Seems like the white label is a description -- my...
I have sent a photo of the white label to my nephew who may be able to translate a bit. Hope that was OK. Will return to the thread if he knows...

Separate names with a comma.
